GAS STOVE.

Application filed November 28, 1923. Serial No. 677,359.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, OTHMAR MAJOEN, a citizen of Austria, residing at NewYork, in the county of Bronx and State of New York, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Gas Stoves, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in gas heaters and moreparticularly to such types as are used in the manner of stoves forwarming rooms or like compartments in dwellings, stores or otherbuilding in which it is desired to raise the temperature. a

One of the objects of the invention is to provide a heater in which thegas is more tical manner.

Another purpose is to produce a'heater that is readily portable andwhich presents an attractive and pleasing appearance.

A further aim is in the provision of a device in which the gas iseconomically consumed, without waste, no odor or gaseous emanationsbeing perceptible.

These and other important aims, objects and purposes are accomplished bythe novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereafterdescribed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, forming amaterial part of this disclosure, and in which:---- I Figure 1 is a planview of an embodiment of the invention as assembled for use.

Figure 2 is a vertical section.

The heater, as shown in the. drawing, is of very simple construction,consisting of a cylindrical body or casing designated by the numeral 10,the same having a rolled or beaded top edge 11 and rests on a base 12over a raised annular projection 13 to which it is firmly secured byscrews 14.

The base 12 is expanded outwardly into a dome shaped lower portionhaving an ornamental re-enforcing beading 15 at its lower edge and issupported by feet 16 se cured by'rivets or screws as shown, the feetraising the base to such height as maybe considered desirable.

. Formed through the casing, in its lower portion are a plurality ofopenings 17 to admit air in addition to that which enters belowthe'base.

Mounted on the rolled beading 11 is a curved cover 18 having a beadedlower edge 19 and containing a plurality of perforations 20. The mainupper portion of the plate 18 is flat and level, as at 21, and has acentral concave depressed surface 22, through which is made an openingfor the cylindrical portion of the burner head 23. Said head has a coverplate provided with a plurality of raised nipples or protuberances 24having perforations to allow the passage of gas, being in effectburners, each having an independent flamewhen the gas is ignited.

Gas is supplied to the burner head by a pipe 25 entering the lowerconvex portion of the head and then being bent at a right angle toextend outwardly through the wall of the casing 10, a flange 26 beingprovided at the joint.

The gas inlet pipe is curved downwardly beyond the flange and providedwith a control means as the cook 27 having a connection 28 to receive aflexible tube (not shown) leading from the gas supply.

Inside the casing '10, adjacent the flange 26 is a collar '29 having anopening 30 which may be turned to register with a simi ar opening-in thepipe 25 and acting as a control valve for the inlet of atmospheric airfrom the interior of the casing to the pipe where the air comingles withthe gas, forming a gaseous mixture to be ignited at the burners 24.

burner head 23 is a hood 31 made of foraminous material, as a wovenmetallic gauze or net capable of withstanding a high degree of heat,such as is commonly known as white hot, that is approximately incandescence, from the numerous burners below it.

This hood 31 is concavo-convex in shape, as shown,.and re-enforced by awired bead 32 at its edge which is disposed substantially liln a.i planelevel with the top of the burner From the foregoing it will beunderstood that the heat is disseminated from the hood rather thandirect from the burners and it will be clear that no gas can escape, thegaseous mixture supplied by the burner head being positively consumedwithout waste and that a high degree of efliciency is thus attained.

In order to protect the hood from'acci-' dental injury and to preventclothing or .Attached to the upper beaded edge of the other objects frombeing brought into dan- I gerous proximity, a series of guards 33 arebent into loop shaped formations, the curved portions being raised to aconsiderable height above the hood and their lower, straight endssecured in the cover plate 18 at suitably spaced intervals.

The crossed, upstanding portions of the guards are secured at theirjuncture with those disposed in transverse relation, constituting aneffective barrier in preventing too intimate contact with the heatengendering and transmitting hood.

From the foregoing it will be seen that an efl'ective embodiment of gasheater has been disclosed in its preferred form, but it will beunderstood that minor modifications may be made, within the scope of theinvention as hereafter claimed and which do not constitute a departuretherefrom.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1; A gas heater comprising a casing open at the bottom and sides to theatmosphere, a cover extended over said casing, a burner head projectingthrough said cover, said head having a plurality of raised nipples, afeed pipe for said head, said pipe having a valve, controllable meansfor the inlet of air to said feed pipe, a foraminous hood disposed oversaid head, and a guard device fixed to said cover over said hood.

2. A gas heater comprising a casing open at the bottom and sides to theatmosphere, a curved cover having a beaded and perforated lower edgeextended over said casing, a burner. head projecting through said cover,a plurality of raised nipples on said head, a feed pipe for said headcurved downward ly, a perforated collar within said casing on said feedpipe inlcommunication therewith for controlling the inlet of atmosphericair to said feed pipe, a woven metallic gauze hood disposed over saidhead, and a plurality of loop guards extending above the hood and havingtheir lower straight ends secured in said cover.

In witness whereof I have aflixed my signature.
